summer. August 26, 2008

I have just lived through the most intense summer of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, but there were definitely a few learning times. Let’s see if I can quickly recap the past few months of my life.
May 26—29: During my break before summer, I was able to help a friend move to Marina, [...]

hatching March 9, 2008

Weird title.
Anyways, I’ve decided what to do with my tax refund. [Thank you to the few of you who gave suggestions.] Deep down in my heart I know I should pay off my debt. So about half of my refund will go toward that. I have the opportunity to go to Disneyland at the end [...]

one of those days . . . February 1, 2008

Sometimes, in the middle of camp, a kid will say something hilarious. Most of the time, I think to myself, Don’t forget that . . . it’s the perfect camper quote. Most of the time, I end up forgetting it. So here’s one I’ve managed to remember.
As I was belaying at our high ropes course, [...]

undeserving December 31, 2007

I know that no good thing is withheld from one who walks uprightly. I am also reminded that every good and perfect gift is from above.
I’ve discovered that sometimes living by faith becomes a humbling thing. There are times when I wish I didn’t have to rely on other people to supplement my income. There [...]

fall semester December 16, 2007

A few pictures from the fall semester of Ministry Bound 07.

Crunchy sand is one of my favorite things about the desert.

Arbuckle Mine . . . we hiked up to it on our trip to Afton Canyon.

I loved the color of this chair.

Scott’s favorite saying is “Camp is best when camp is running.” I agree.
This [...]

the chase October 22, 2007

I am so frustrated by girls who chase boys.
There is never any logic.
There is always tons of drama.
And it makes me want to vomit.
So much so, that I looked up the definition of chase tonite.
Here’s what I found:
chase
1. to pursue in order to seize, overtake, etc.: The police officer chased the thief.
2. to pursue [...]

ministry bound September 3, 2007

So, here I am, sitting back at Ironwood.
I’m not even sure what I’m writing about, because I don’t feel like much has happened since I’ve gotten here. I left last Monday to drive out with my dad – about 32 hours on the road. We made just a couple interesting stops along our way on [...]

alike August 5, 2007

As I was working in Uncle Wally’s (Ironwood’s equivalent to a book|souvenir store) this past Tuesday, I sauntered down to the end bookshelf and noticed a book that sounded intriguing. I don’t remember what the title was, but it deals with relationships. Something about putting your love life in the right perspective. After reading the [...]

user error July 27, 2007

I am frustrated.
Not really over-the-top frustrated, just a little frustrated. I’m supposed to print as many books as possible between today and tomorrow lunch. My goal was to get 40 done. Looking at the amount of time it’s taken to print each book, that would tentatively take about 20 hours. I was hoping to still [...]

homeless July 1, 2007

My thoughts have been challenged again. I’m beginning to like this a lot. After feeling a little sorry for myself that I don’t know what’s going on anymore and the fact that I don’t have any plans for 50 days from now, I began to wonder who my Jesus is.
My God is One who didn’t [...]
